Fycompa contains active pharmaceutical ingredient Perampanel. It is a non-competitive AMPA glutamate receptor antagonist used as adjunctive therapy to treat Partial-Onset Seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures in patients with epilepsy aged 12 years and older, and Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) Seizures in patients with epilepsy aged 12 years and older

Recommended Dosage: 

Dosage for Partial-Onset Seizures: The recommended starting dosage is 2 mg once a day taken orally at bedtime. The dosage of Fycompa tablets can be increased by increments of 2 mg once a day no more often than at weekly intervals. The maintenance dose range is 8 to 12 mg once daily in the absence of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs, although some individuals may respond with 4 mg daily dose. A dose of 12 mg once a day resulted in somewhat higher reductions in the rates of seizure than 8 mg once daily dose but with a substantial increase in side effects. Adjust individual dosing on behalf of clinical response as well as tolerability.

Dosage for Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures: The recommended starting dosage is 2 mg once a day taken orally at bedtime. The dosage of Fycompa can be increased by increments of 2 mg once daily no more often than at weekly intervals. In individuals not using enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs, the maintenance dose is 8 mg once daily taken at bedtime. Those who are tolerating Fycompa 8 mg once a day and need further reduction of seizures may consider a dose increase up to 12 mg once daily in case tolerated. Adjust individual dosing on behalf of clinical response as well as tolerability.
